Her eyes are going to have to wait, they are normally one of the last things I do as I feel I am being looked at while stitching
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
. In the meantime I have been putting in some of the lady slipper leaves:
I've just come in from gardening to cool down out of the sun by doing a bit more of this cross stitch. It is hard to understand how important it is to look after ourselves on a cool but sunny day as two weeks ago my mother gave herself heatstroke when it was only 17 degrees in the sun. There is a good reason why they call it heat
stroke my Mum has lost control/strength down her right hand side. It seems the Sun warmed the left hand side of her head and caused her brain to over heat and expand, she is now recovering but the MRI showed she has a "hole" in her brain, the long term consequences of which no one knows.
So I am under strict instructions: one cup of coffee and a minimum of one length of thread stitched into this piece before I am allowed out in the garden again.
